Narrative

Tailless Whipscorpions (Order Amblypygi, previously part of the Pedipalpi) are a primitive group of animals that resemble scorpions but lack the typical stinger found in scorpions. This group is related to the Whipscorpions but differs in that these Arachnids have no tail. This group of Arachnids also has its front legs turned into long feeler appendages. There are three species in this order found in the United States. All of them are quite small, typically having bodies less than one half inch long.
